While not mandatory, experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds will be highly regarded.

We love our work – so will you!

If you have a solid sense of adventure, are up for a new challenge, and are genuinely interested in making a real difference, this could be the role for you!

You’ll be joining a fantastic support network, from your colleagues in both Mount Isa and Townsville, to the wider NWRH team of allied health professionals.

In return for your hard work and dedication, you’ll receive an excellent starting salary, commensurate with your qualifications and experience, PLUS a range of additional benefits, including:
